Okay. Um. A few flaws with what you're saying.
First off, graphics. This game came out in '97. You have to take into consideration the dating. Back then, it was amazing.
Music. There's a lot more music than what you're saying. It does loop a lot, but there's not much that happens in the beginning - you have to progress.
Story? You've played 40 minutes. You haven't even gotten out of Midgar yet. You haven't even scratched the surface yet, trust me.
Gameplay? Well, if you don't like it, you don't like it. RPGs aren't for everyone. I find mindless level grinding to be annoying, which is what turns me off of most RPGs. Most of the FFs dumb it down a bit, but if you don't like it, than that's it.
